In this episode we talk about what trauma is. Rather than it being as the result of a particular event it is a nervous system response that gets held in the body, rather than being discharged.
This helps us to reframe mental health and understand that if we work in relationship with others to discharge our nervous system then a more consistently regulated state is possible.
Lou’s work with Trauma thrivers is to not only help people regulate themselves after trauma, but to get to a place of thriving through affordable approaches.
